I’ve always found it funny that until 1997 one of the largest tobacco re-sellers was the US Government. When I was in the Navy I was entitled to a cigarette ration. Cigarettes were included in rations during WW II, Korea and Vietnam, yet it was the “Evil Tobacco Companies” that were responsible for it all.

I’d have to pay into the settlement.
